"The carpeting is beautiful and well made. The customer service was better than we had experienced with other retailers which is one of the reasons we chose Mr. Carpet. Other reasons included the price and the many options available. The Sales Associates have vast knowledge of the industry which is why our house is more beautiful than ever thanks to Mr. Carpet."
"I've used Exposition Carpeting for more than 20 years now. They have an excellent selection and are extremely helpful, and their prices are reasonable. When our basement flooded last year, we had wanted to get the same carpeting that had been ruined in the flood, but it was discontinued. They were SO helpful in poring over books and helping us find something very similar. There was a miscommunication among their staff which caused our order to be somewhat delayed, but that was the first time I'd had anything less than a stellar experience with them. I highly recommend them. They also have a great "remnant room" with great prices if you're looking to carpet smaller rooms."
"Frank and his team were very courteous, professional and considered my specific needs in making recommendations and in the timing of the floor and carpet install. They executed the work quickly but with high quality. Frank came out during the install to ensure that everything was going as planned. I would highly recommend High Quality."
"Marcus was very communicative before job day. He came in person to see the rooms needing work so he could make a firm quote, and then returned the next day to complete the job. He and his co-worker arrived on time and worked very steadily. I requested 3 rooms of carpet cleaning, 1 large lower level tile floor scrubbing, and stairs sanding/staining. The job was finished in one day. The floor and carpets were very worn and needed special attention. They came out really nice, and the flooring was better than I expected."

The best underlayment for carpet on concrete is a sponge rubber underlayment.
